"I have a 1996 Merc 225. If I advance the throttle slowly, the engine will sputter and die at around 1500 rpm. If I advance quickly to wide open, it will hesitate and sputter for a few seconds then pick right up to to approximately 5200 rpm. It always starts right up and idles fine. Could this be a carburetor problem or ECM?"
